Countdown

Countdown....there is 5 days left before I start the Clean Program. Dr. Alejandro Junger explains very carefully in his book about the importance of the 10 days before a fast. The body needs to be prepared and mostly the mind. Why am I doing this ? My husband and I have done the Ayurvedic cleansing twice in India and came out newborn after 3 weeks of treatments. I would love to have it in India again but the time is not there for a 3 weeks holiday. It might work well at home and the book CLEAN was so inspirational. 
I feel heavy and slow lately, I do not jump out of bed, I got a small excema on my pinky finger ( indication of toxic overload ) my skin is dry even with layers of Dr. Hauska. 

So I decided some Spring Cleaning is essential. 

BREAKFAST: a bowl of Quinoa with some pollen (Made a batch last night) A large cup of herbal tea. A mix of green tea , rooibos, liquirice, cinnamon, oregano, thyme, sage, rosemary. A glass of peach fruit juice with a spoon of spirulina.

SNACK: I made my favorite Juice. carrot, apple and 1/2 lemon. One rice cracker and a delicious Mint tea with fresh mints. It is easy when you have a garden.

LUNCH: A salad to dye for..... Quinoa, lettuce, the softest avocado, radishes. It was big.

SNACK: lots of fresh water and I had a dip around four. Had a handful of almods and raisons. 
DINNER: Incredibly impossible...I did not have a lot of apetite. Had a rucola sallad with a soon of hummus ( Chickpeas are not recomended by Dr Junger ) that I had made for the family. Could not resist. On a ricecracker. 

I think I did well today. Friend always tell me that I eat as a truckdriver...Hmm
PS. A nice Quinoa salad is on the 101cookbook blog.
